Banks across the board got a full reprieve in Q1 (Fy 2014) as they report much better NIMs, ING improving to 3.56% up almost 10% from previous year scores because of the lower interest rates by the Central Bank. Apart from the old hat CEntral bank rebuttal to banks at this stage for refusing to pss along the rate cuts, this strategy is not really creating any abnormal returns but would have unsqueezed banks bt for the oil triage getting the Economy back into a high rate orbit.

Also the concerns about asset quality are probably unfounded as they just try to close up books on all doubtful assets and this quarter’s anomalous jump of 50% at HDFC Bank and more at ING vysya is likely just a result of that

Retail Banks have obviously been running higher NIMS like 4.4% at HDfc bank and cllose to 4% at Axis, but they also hide a lot of retail pain in their bigger balance sheets that can be shown by segmenting the cost of funding also appropriately for the retail book

This Biopic and this web recreates how one point of view, one person can impact a tremendous economic engine that the world thrives and mis-thrives on. This one has the knowledge and the civil sense , the art of conversation and some good writing to mentor others as powerful and help global managers develop and fine tune their approach on US markets, China, India and the world.
Read on here, and let me know what you need. It can be a race for TRPs, a race for new markets and a race to do what is right. I have the pulse of the crisis, the recovery and the market direction and can help you build and refine your strategy as i have helped thousands of managers and multiple global corporations. Of course, it’s more fun if you talk to me. I am in favor of leading this moving of the economic crisis and will partner with you in a soft and subtle way, just the way we both ride to the top. But you can write with us, opine and just reply with aplomb and shine on Twitter , 4 square , Facebook and any other social “choupal” of choice
